Funky multi-coloured circle skirt

My girls both attend dance classes and at last terms performance, one of the costumes worn by another class included a circle skirt that we all liked, and I just had to try out for my girls!
Here's my version!




I just made a basic circle skirt in lots of coloured strips - great for using up those scraps!:

And added the requested dark pink ruffle along the bottom - also made from strips of scraps!


Turns out it's the perfect skirt for running !


Who would have thought!


I've got lots of shiny, and sparkly material in my stash which I plan to use for some funky dance outfits for the girls!

    Wow that is cute and you made it look pretty simple! Though I have an irrational fear of sewing machines, I may try it. ;)

    Shiny slippery fabric is so hard to sew but you've made it look like a breeze! The skirt looks great - definitely particularly good for running and twirling :)

    A fabulous skirt that has the twirl factor!!! Great idea to make it in strips, as a circle skirt normally uses so much fabric. I'm pinning this, Jill...
